craig Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 That looks awesome !! I think I have years of welding practice left before I could do anything like that. Handle looks great too, what is it ? Also, what steels are used in the blade ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucegodlesky Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Slick little piece there. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzuzuz Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Pretty much a hodge podge of what was available. Steel is lawnmower blade, band saw blade and banding strap folded a few times. The handle is made of some moose antler I had laying around and the liners are cut from a plastic paint tray. Thanks for the compliments Bob Urban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Turned out great! Nice idea on the paint tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg7m Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I really like that knife. I like the texture of the moose horn. I've never used moose horn, but that look good. Is that from the flat part fo the horn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzuzuz Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 BG - It was part of a tine from a shed moose palm I had laying around. I se moose antler to make billets(Hammers) for smashing large stones into smaller pointed stones. Some call it flint knapping but I make a lot more dust than arrow heads and blades so I cannot call myself a knapper. Moose antler is very solid with almost no pithy center anywhere in the antler so it makes a hard hammer and great knife handles. This was an old shed so I used some of the weathered area to get the older look and after I sanded it to shape I filled the small cracks with super glue, resanded and rubbed the whole knife with oil for a finish. I am going to try to make a larger one next Bob Urban Bob Urban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
